What's the odds of this shot?
At least you got 25 points for blowing up the explosive... hehe
True!

Making the emblem took the longest!

Hope people who still play on XBO join, at least make it worth while all the emblem fiddling, need to work on the mouth, the hardest bit is the face surprisingly.

These are great!
Shame you can't just use a jpeg, but you can be guaranteed that would be horribly (& pornographically) misused!

I bought an external HDD for extra space and when BF1 was put on that then the load time halved straight away so it's not all EAs fault. (I feel grubby saying that...)
try defraging you c drive that's probably why its faster on external

but the load times are still terrible on a clean
ssd so its defiantly a sloppy programming form EA

Didn't even know you could do that! Is it a SSD hence the speed?

Yes, external SSD's or if you have one of the new 's' xboxs which have hybrid drives the load times are noticeably quicker.

however they still are too long, and that's ignoring the st matchmaking and options for operations.

It is when the best I can get is about 7mb connection.

It's been on all night.

Thats unfortunate hehe How long does that even take? Can you game without lag?

Virgin media just upgraded me to a 200mb line biggrin

The external drive is a normal HDD, I got a seagate 2tb usb 3 drive. The internal one isn't very fast and also has the OS to deal with.

I put it on intending to have a quick game last night at about 9pm.

It was just completing this morning when I left for work at 6am.

Gaming is pretty much OK, as long as the wife isn't streaming elsewhere in the house.

We used to have 100mb Virgin. Moved house to a brand new estate..... and no fibre available. frown

My PS4 update was "only" around 5GB, usual story with the new map - hardly any servers to play it on, presumably it'll peak over the next week and then drop again when the novelty wears off.

Interesting map, as seems to the theme these days though it's pretty much a copy, paste exercise using existing 3D models from the other maps so it doesn't feel "new", it's also not as dark as I expected but for me that's a bonus, I didn't enjoy the night maps in BF4.

On the plus side the timer that shows when your grenade will refresh is nice, not 5GB nice but welcome all the same.

It would be great if you could download the updates on a USB stick from a PC and then just plug it into the console when it is done. It took a few hours to download the last update and you can't play the game until it has installed. At least I could use the companies 600mb internet connection when at lunch...

Just read the patch notes and Im struggling to see what 10gb has got me. Seems there have been no fixes to tanks not being able to spawn or getting stuck on the pause screen once you've finished a game of operations and it rolls through onto the next. Thrilled they have added blur around the scope of the 1906 rifle though, the game was crying out for that...
